13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, FREE RESOURCES, AND THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CATHOLIC BROS, BRIGHT CLOUD MEDIA, LLC, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, “CATHOLIC BROS PARTIES”) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CATHOLIC BROS PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR COMPLETE. ANY RELIANCE ON CONTENT FROM THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the exclusions in this Section apply only to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE CATHOLIC BROS PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF CATHOLIC BROS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL THE CATHOLIC BROS PARTIES’ TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO CATHOLIC BROS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

The limitations in this Section apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages; in those jurisdictions, the limitations in this Section apply only to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Note for EU/UK/EEA, Australian, Canadian, and other Consumers: Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or exclude any liability or rights that cannot be limited or excluded under mandatory consumer-protection law applicable to you. To the extent any provision of these Terms is unenforceable as to you under such law, that provision will be modified or limited only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.

15. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Catholic Bros Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

(a) your access to or use of the Services;

(b) your User Content;

(d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

16. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

(a) Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

(b) Informal Resolution. Before initiating any legal action, you and Catholic Bros agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days after written notice. Notice to Catholic Bros must be sent to dan@catholicbros.com with the subject “Notice of Dispute” and must describe the dispute and the relief sought.

(c) Arbitration Agreement. If informal resolution does not resolve the dispute, you and Catholic Bros agree to resolve all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services through final and binding individual arbitration, except as provided in subsection (e) below.

(d) Arbitration Rules and Procedure. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The seat of arbitration will be Hillsdale County, Michigan, although you may participate remotely. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for the limited right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

(e) Exceptions. Either party may bring (i) a claim in small-claims court for any dispute that qualifies under the rules of that court, and (ii) an action for injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Services. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND CATHOLIC BROS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any class, collective, or representative proceeding. If a court determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will be severed and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

(g) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver by sending written notice to dan@catholicbros.com with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” within thirty (30) days after the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your name, mailing address, and email address. If you opt out, the arbitration agreement and class action waiver will not apply to you, but the rest of these Terms remain in effect.

(h) Forum for Non-Arbitrable Matters. For any claim that is not subject to arbitration (including claims brought after a permitted opt-out), you and Catholic Bros consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Hillsdale County, Michigan, and waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

(i) EU/UK/EEA Consumers. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK, or EEA, mandatory consumer-protection law may give you the right to bring claims in the courts of your country of residence and to apply local consumer-protection law. Nothing in this Section limits those rights.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, including for any actual or suspected violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 7(b), 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 through 25.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice (such as a banner on the Site or an email to subscribers) as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services.

19. Force Majeure

Catholic Bros will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, or pandemics.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

21. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce that or any other provision.

22. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

23. Relationship of the Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Catholic Bros.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other terms or policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Catholic Bros regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals on the same subject.
